Oh no, I think those honors belong to Steely Dan.

I sucked the moon
I spoke too soon
And how much did it cost?
I was dropped from moonbeams
And sailed on shooting stars
Maybe you'll
Be president
But know right from wrong
Or in the flood
You'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon
Sail to the moon

If I was comatose, I'd probably be pretty stoked about this song.

Radiohead. the ultimate divider!
Most RH lovers have a long history with the band's music and have grown to love the uniquenes of Thom's voice & styling. We don't want perfect pitch and sugar-sweet tone.
There's something raw & visceral about it.

I LOVE Radiohead, but I ALWAYS skip this song. Not their best. Plodding and tuneless. Usually their melodies are beautiful, not wandering.

I like the overall sound of Radiohead! What I have trouble with is the unsupported (by the breath) vocals. He is out of tune and YES whiney sounding. It doesn't make me dislike the band, just the lead vocals.
I don't like Neil Young's voice, but the music and his message more than make up for his lack of intonation. Same goes for Radiohead IMO.

I agree. Count me as seeing Radiohead as "bar of soap" music. I don't agree with the last sentence though. Just because you play moody music that goes on forever does not mean that you are a genius!! I can't wait until the "rein of Radiohead" is over.  :P |

Music is damned odd ---- why do I dislike this (though not all RH) because, to me, Yorke's voice is incredibly whiny, yet I like Neil Young, Ima Robot, that song "Carbon Kid"...... Ah the wonder of it all.

I suspect you don't particularly dig Radiohead, Tiz? Just a hunch there, and your multiple posts on this and other RH tunes. Just wonderin'. |

Yeah, there is the "whine factor", something the currently-heard Michael Stipe also has to contend with. But some of the musical turns that they accomplish, including a few instances in this song, are rare and beautiful, and make me realize their true talent. |

Furthermore, please note the lack cheesy saxophone solos in Radiohead's music. Perhaps if I could say the same for Floyd, I would still have listened to them after graduating from high school.
wow, the president of the Radiohead fan club listens to RP!

Hey man. Don't go there. Just because someone is ignorant enough to accuse Radiohead of ripping off Pink Floyd is no reason to slag Floyd. The truth is that Radiohead was influenced by Pink Floyd, just like a ton of other bands that are playing music today. It is a far cry to compare Thom Yorke and David Gilmour or Roger Waters. If all you know about Pink Floyd is saxophone solos, then it is apparent that you haven't really listened to them.
Radiohead and Pink Floyd are two very different bands, that in my opinion are both great. |
